The net loss for Pennsylvania in movers between the two states has grown from fewer than 2,000 in 2011 to nearly 20,000 in 2022.

New U.S. Census Bureau data shows the number of Pennsylvania residents who relocated to Florida has grown steadily since 2010, while the number of Floridians moving to Pennsylvania has stayed relatively flat.

From 2020 to 2022, Florida had a net gain of over 600,000 people who moved from elsewhere in the United States. In contrast, Pennsylvania had a net loss of about 16,000. New Jersey had more than 100,000 more people move out of the state than the number of those who moved in. When Ramsey Walker, 33, and his wife were looking to buy a house in 2021, they noticed prices in Florida’s St. John’s County were 30% to 50% lower than in Pennsylvania’s Blue Bell and Garnet Valley areas.

Walker said that when he and his wife “kept to their own devices,” politics came into play less. But now that they have kids, there’s a case for moving back to Pennsylvania or somewhere else.
